This site is a journal of the events that attract our attention and participation, recorded in photo-essay and cartoon. It includes but is not limited to union activity in our workplaces, political events in our hometown of Sacramento, California, and major regional progressive events.

---Ellen Dillinger SEIU UHW and Dick Wood CSEA

"A Shop Steward's Cartoon" is one person's account of what it's like to be an ancient crone participating in the Union organizing process at her workplace. Starting as a history, it stops frequently to comment on the personal and philosophical events that accompany any major progressive social enterprise. It will appear in installments and there's no telling how long it will be.

If you want a more straight forward history of SEIU Local 250 (United Healthcare Workers-West) you can read it on their website. ---E.Dillinger
